The Glass

May 5, 2013 By 15 Comments

Ooo watch out, folks. I am attempting a daily prompt today. The Daily Prompt asks,

Is the glass half-full, or half-empty?

Honestly, that question has always kind of irritated me. Why? I don’t like it’s connotations. If you are to think the glass is half-full then that must obviously mean you’re optimistic and pessimistic if you feel it is half-empty. I don’t believe that way, but I also believe it’s just a glass and it can be both depending on how you want to look at it. And the way you look at it doesn’t deem a character flaw or strength or depression or otherwise.

I am also a little more literal in the sense that if you pour out or drink some of the liquid, then it would automatically mean half-empty, but if you just filled it then it would be half-full. So it can be based on technicalities.

In my little world, it can be both based on how you look at it, but how you look at it doesn’t determine your optimism or pessimism.

I Drive Me Crazy — Ooo-Ooo

April 23, 2013 By 8 Comments

I can’t pick a theme. Not to save my life, your life or even my cute little dog’s life. It doesn’t help that I am working off a 10+ year old laptop. My only guess since it has XP version 2002. The font on the Ryu theme is huge and I actually kind of dig that theme. And I am afraid if I shrink it the size will be too small on newer computers and people will be all “Wtf, CB?!” and I’ll be like, “Fuck off, you do it then.” and then all my lovely blogger relationships will disintegrate all over font sizes and theme choices. Hey, that shit could happen.

I like the Adelle, in fact I was waiting for WP to come out with something like that. But now that it’s here, it’s too cookie cutter to me. No offense if it’s yours. I have the upgrade so I could do CSS, but there is a slight problem. I only know Livejournal version of CSS because you can edit that shit. I can’t do CSS from scratch. I am a CSS interpreter. It would be really cool if WP worked like LJ and gave you something to edit versus a blank box that you have to place code into. I have a lot of time on my hands nowadays so maybe I could teach myself. Yeah, that’s probably unlikely.

I have a feeling by the time you’re reading this, Adelle will be my theme and you’ll be laughing at me. Ciao!

Readership Award

April 22, 2013 By 10 Comments

Yes, it’s from the same wonderful girl as the ABC award. NotQuiteAlice has passed to me another award for which I am so very thankful for. She really knows how to make a person feel good. So thank you, NotQuiteAlice, you’re a doll!

The Rules:

1. Display the logo on your page. 
2. Finish the sentence: “A great reader is…”
3. Nominate 14 readers they appreciate.
4. Inform the readers with either comments or pingbacks.

Readership Award

Readership Award

A great reader is one who at least makes the attempt to read & comprehend your posts and can let you know by commenting or liking the post. I think likes are just as acceptable because I sometimes have no clue what I can say to the blogger about the topic and I still want them to know I read it and support what they are saying. So when I like your posts, know I read every word because I am not the greatest commenter. I’m like sub-par really. Really sub-par. Shut up.

My picks:

1. The Hook

2. Cranky Giraffe

3. Jet

4. WhiskeyintheAM

5. FrontRangeScribbles

6. Good2begone

7. John Zande

OK that’s not 14, but y’all can deal. Love you bunches.

Blogger’s Block

April 21, 2013 By 37 Comments

I have an extreme case of blogger’s block and it is becoming insufferable. It’s unfortunate that my mental stability highly depends on the ability to blog whatever is on my mind and as of now there is nothing more on my mind than this. I’ve looked into prompts, articles (non-newsy), and Facebook to see if anything would strike. As we see here, it obviously hasn’t.

I have even combed over past posts to see what I tended to blog a lot about and that helped nil. I am not the blogger who sets up posts in advanced or writes notes on things I should blog about. I am as spur of the moment as they come. Organization is not key for me, though it probably should be. I also find it funny that in a guest post I did on Rarasaur’s blog, I mentioned I was like a few female comedians (I’m really not) sans the political rants yet a lot of posts from last year dealt with political controversial topics. I’m a walking contradiction.

In  conclusion, I am so done with this block. I don’t know if it’s the new medications, the fact I just got my brain back from a full-blown psychosis or it’s that time of the month — yes, I just went there. But if you have any suggestions for me or want to share what works for you, I’d greatly appreciate it. Love you all.

Book Review This is Not

April 19, 2013 By 5 Comments

Can’t be since I only just started reading it last night. Either way I have to write about it even though I am only in midst of chapter 6. Did I mention that I downloaded it late last night?

brainonfireIt’s called Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness and it is riveting, AND I haven’t even touched on the intense parts that are to come. The author is Susannah Cahalan and she was (could still be?) a reporter for The New York Post. The paper that Alexander Hamilton started in 1801. Fact check!

I’m only a few sentences in, but I figure I would pause here to tell you I am horrible/terrible/no good/very bad at relaying stories I haven’t made up in my head.

What I got from the synopsis is she has a very intense psychotic break that came without rhyme or reason since she hasn’t a history of mental illness or really any health concerns nor does her family.

It is a hard read because a lot of the things she experiences, I have experienced in relation to the psychosis. The difference? Her’s is due to a rare autoimmune disease and mine is because I am just fucking mental.  I’m so mental I had a small glimmer of hope that I could have that disease [I'd much rather have a disease that causes my body to attack my brain and possible death than just a case of the crazies. Sounds good, no?] so I Googled it and God laughed in my face because it’s only linked to Autism and Schizophrenia cases, not Bipolar.

I think I am also excited {no, not just because of my coffee this morning…} because this is the first book in a bit that I don’t find myself getting bored. I think it’s all my lovely psychotropics because I skim a lot more than I used to. I can write this, but I doubt I am going to proofread anything that’s not already outlined for me to fix.

Yes, I bore myself also. I used to be kind of egotistical about my posts, but now that I haven’t been around, just got back to reality from major psychotic break [3rd time in 6 years, ooo I'm on a roll], and I lack energy and inspiration to post. Yeah, not a good mix. Luckily my dad is letting me use his laptop for the time being.

The book is good. She’s not a bore at all which is super cool.
